Back in my Win XP days, I installed my laser printer four times, to be able to have "presets" for orientation and duplex. Here is what I did
L
  • aserPS
  • LaserPSDuplex
  • LaserPSLandscape
  • LaserPSLandSc
apeDuplex

With Win XP this all worked just fine, no issues.:D

With my Win 7 Professional 64 bit, I repeated this install process, but only two of these printers are actually showing up in the CPL. :confused:

If I look at the registry, in HKEY_USERS/Printers I can see all four printers in the folders DevModes2 and DevModePerUser.

But I can't see those printers in the CPL, then how can I modify the properties like Duplex and page orientation. :confused:

What do I do here? Do I need to modify binary data in the registry? :mad:

The bullet list got all messed up in the original post, so here it is corrected.

Anybody? :confused:

Is there a forum that is * better * than [H] to ask this question? (Of course, [H] is and has always been the best forum all around. ;) )
